It’s beyond debate that Donald Trump is unfit to be president

By Editorial Board September 25 at 7:17 PM

DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON and Republican Donald Trump will debate on national television for the first time Monday night, and the stakes could not be higher. The presidency and, by extension, the country’s future — maybe the world’s — could hinge on what they say and how they say it.

Or so we have been told — in breathless pre-event speculation about everything from whether the moderator, NBC’s Lester Holt, will intervene to correct a candidate who strays from the truth, to whether one candidate or the other will be able to goad his or her opponent into a campaign-altering gaffe before an audience expected to reach 100 million.

Permit us to dissent from this conventional wisdom, vigorously. Yes, Monday night’s clash, and two additional debates to follow, will add drama to the election, and a bit more data to the massive pile of it already available to voters. In a fundamental sense, however, there is nothing much at stake, or shouldn’t be, because there is not much more to learn: Mr. Trump has amply demonstrated his unworthiness to occupy the Oval Office. It’s beyond his capacity in the upcoming 90-minute question-and-answer sessions to reverse or even substantially modify that conclusion.

If Trump wins, they will know how we felt when Barack Obama was elected.

This really needs a (barf alert)

It’s a bunch of liberal puke. I read it earlier and it’s just one lie after another about Trump

Just like it was beyond debate in the 70s that a new ice age was upon us, and that half the world would starve by 2000, and in the 90s that the rain forests would be gone in ten years, and the ice caps would be gone, and...

Being unfit to be president didn’t stop Obama.

Has the editorial board of ANY newspaper EVER put out DAILY hit pieces on any Presidential candidate?

FUWP.

DDT Syndrome. No, this is not something Rachel Carson made up in Silent Spring. This is Deplorable Donald Trump Syndrome. For some reason it only affects lefties and RINOS.

They don’t even care how obvious they are anymore.

I actually still buy this rag on Sundays, for the coupons and to line my pigeon cages. I’ll have to stop even that.

It’s clear that the people at the Washington Post have been unfit to run a newspaper for years, and yet...there they are.

Hmm...looks like the two home-stretch memes are "Trump lies" and "Trump is unqualified". Good to know it in advance.

There is a certain irony in any editorial board declaring anything beyond debate. Any honest one, that is. This, however, is the Washington Post.

Trump has spent a lifetime of proving himself a capable businessman, CEO, and manager of an international multi level management team. He knows a number of world leaders. You may not like what he says, but he references with truth on about any given subject.

Trump loves this nation. He wants to restore it to the greatness of decades past. He is a man who respects people of all races and gender.

Hillary has spent a lifetime riding coattails, proving herself an incompetent. When she has been gifted with public office she has either done nothing, or really screwed up. Her Benghazi failure to execute was bad enough, but her advocacy of supporting terrorist organizations could easily top that debacle. When it comes to truth, Hillary never made friends with it. You can’t trust a word coming out of her mouth.

Hillary loathes the United States, thinks it isn’t Leftist enough. She thinks it needs to depart more from it’s once greatness. She hates our Constitution and would love to replace it with a lot of Leftist clap trap. She is a race baiting, gender tapping worthless piece of excrement.

Trump is very supportive of his employees. He may have to let them go from time to time, but he doesn’t rag on them. He is good to women, and often places them in critical positions.

Hillary has allowed some of her employees to die, rather than give them adequate protection or pull them out. She sells out employees and friends if it serves her purposes. She will trash them at the drop of a hat, often blaming them for her criminality. As for women, Hillary has hired people to intimidate the ones her husband dated, raped, and assaulted during their marriage. As for her treatment of children, those women were their mothers. They were also daughters, sisters, wives, aunts...

Trump as a CEO, human being, and decent man, is a very qualified man to be president.

Hillary Clinton as a failure at everything, is essentially a terrible human being, and unfit to hold any public office.

She should have been in prison ten times over.

No worries, they finished her custom, remote control exoskeleton in the nick of time. And that isn’t just any lapel mic you’ll be seeing, it’s actually an IV to ensure her level of meds isn’t compromised. Shoes? Nothing a little monster glue won’t take care of.

Virtually everything is “beyond debate” with these people.
They would love us to not even have elections. What is the point? They are right and everyone else is wrong (from their point of view).

It’s beyond debate that the “free press” is a wholly owned and operated subsidiary of the DNC.

It’s so retarded when liberals show their arrogance and try to declare something they have no authority, responsibility, or capability to declare. They’re like little petulant children that declare grown-ups are stupidheads.

In other words - they are moving the goal posts again because they fear their candidate is unable to win.

Trump is eminently more qualified than back-bencher, community organizer, America-hating, Bathhouse Barry Obama was when he was elected. Period.
